In the wake of Myles Turner's defection to the Milwaukee Bucks, attention is drawn to a much deeper problem in the NBA – the reality that the league is built on splash and hype, not continuity and development.
While initially shocking to many of the Indiana Pacers faithful, Turner’s exit is now old news. Following his departure, the Pacers were left in a moderate lurch at the center position. With the draft already in the rearview mirror and a thin free agent market at the position, the front office had to get creative in filling out this end of the roster.
